    It seems that lots of people on slashdot think that YelloDog and LinuxPPC (and now mandrake) are the only PPC distors available. Dont forget: Debian runs on PPC, and it's good.

    Don't forget that Gentoo Linux runs on PPC. Gentoo is an excellent, modern Linux distribution with a package system similar to portage. It has been reviewed a few times on /. and is quickly gaining popularity.

    It's the PPC version of Mandrakes i586 release, which came out before KDE3 had it's final release. Mandrake may like the leading edge, but not the bleeding edge. It wasn't stable enough and they weren't prepared to wait. KDE3 is available for download, but still has a few packaging bugs to be shaken out.

    Next version will be good: KDE3, Gnome 2, GCC 3.1, LSB compliant.
